Snippet #1298130

Akane ran out from the classroom and glanced at the empty hallway. Her sharp ears caught a few steps heading at the end of the hall and she ran after it. To her disappointment she turned and saw no one there but a board filled with papers. Curious she walked closer to the board, it had diferent colored papers with information. Akane chose a bright purple sheet and read the dark black print. It gave information about missions to capture souls, this was a first for her so she looked over to the level 3 missions. Mainly because it grabbed her attention of bright green papers, on her tippy toes she snatched one near the corner. Excited she walked over to the staircase and sat down, breathing deeply in and out from running she read the paper.
"What are you doing?" A strong, familiar voice asked her from behind.

Luka walked around her and leaned against the rail, his calculating eyes watched her trembling hands. Akane glanced up and her eyes looked like tiny stars were being reflected. "I...I'm looking at this...paper. I got it...from..there." At each pause she took another breath, Luka glanced back and being much taller than her read the sign [Missions] above the wooden board. The papers appeared to be color coded according to the mission level. His red eyes stared at the section with neon green papers, "It's for missions Akane, level 3 sounds like for Beginners. We would need higher if we want to take revenge." Illuminated stars grew dull as her eyes became glassy red orbs, her voice shifted as she looked down, "There's this girl, Echondra Crush. She says she's the greatest Meister of the academy." She stared at her shoes her hands crumbling the side of the paper. Luka almost took back the words, he knew the hatred, the rage, the resentment she had in those with Black Blood. Akane's own parents were killed with a killer possessed by Black Blood, she was so little hiding in the closet trying not to make a sound. "We need to ask for her help then, if she's the greatest she can help us train our wavelengths." In that second Akane looked up so quickly and started laughing it made Luka take a step back, his hip crashing with the rail.

Luka asking for help was like a toddler trying to rob a store. Impossible. "Luka! Do you remember our past? Do you? We were the greatest theives in the streets. We would rob and steal, the towns people gave us the nickname 'Phantom' for our strange disappearances right after. They never suspected two kids sleeping on the streets." Akane got up and stretch her arms, her stomach exposing just a little. Luka showed the faintest smile his eyes flashing a quick emotion Akane didn't recognize, "It was a crappy name too, I told you not to spread it." They shared a few minutes of the past, then as fast as it started it stopped. He took a few steps up the stairs and called back, "I think I know where they are, I passed Echo on my way down from the roof. She was with a guy, probably her Weapon." His partner nodded and put the paper in her back pocket, it stuck out showing a bit of green. Anticipation of becoming more powerful overcame her and slowly leaked into Luka as they headed up the steps.
